Recipe: Easy Make-Ahead Taco Salad
I've started blogging over at heatherplusmike.com. I'll link here when I post there, in case any of you are interested.
The other day, I posted this on Facebook: Fact: Taco salad is the best salad. Not a single person dissented; many agreed quite vocally. Seriously, what’s not to love? Taco salad can feel somewhat virtuous (though frequently it's far from it), it’s a little more kicky than your usual garden greens, and it's fairly customizable. One complaint I often hear about eating salad for lunch is that you wind up hungry by 3pm. Not so with a taco salad! There's so much happening in there, so many good, filling ingredients, that you'll be satisfied till supper. When I was growing up, we’d often have taco salad for dinner. Matthew and I loved this meal and happily ate it out of an enormous salad bowl in which Papa tossed everything together, but if you have fussy little ones, it's easy to do individual plates of taco salad, omitting the undesirable ingredients as needed. Feeding a crowd? For heaven's sake, make a taco salad! I've yet to meet a person who was not delighted by the appearance of a bowl of these Mexi-ish greens.
